Luxury Cashmere and Its Impact on our Fashion Today

Renowned for its timeless elegance and exceptional softness, pure cashmere remains a cornerstone of the global luxury textile industry. Lona Scott exemplifies this tradition, offering garments that embody traditional craftsmanship and elegance.

The cashmere industry continues to grow. It’s expected to rise steadily at a rate of 5.4% each year through 2032, with Europe remaining a key market, as more consumers demand high-quality, sustainable fashion.

Lona Scott stands at the forefront of this movement, championing the principles of slow fashion with collections that blend effortless sophistication with lasting comfort. Each garment reflects a harmonious balance between heritage and modernity, an investment in responsible luxury designed to be cherished for years to come.

What Makes Cashmere So Special?

There's a reason Wool and Cashmere continue to define luxury globally. It starts with craftsmanship, centuries of heritage and tradition, where the world's finest cashmere fibres are washed, combed, spun, and refined. But it's not just about tradition. It's about how this time-honoured process creates cashmere that feels softer, lasts longer, and looks effortlessly refined.

At Lona Scott, we utilise this exceptional material to craft pieces that strike the perfect balance between elegance and functionality. Whether it's a subtly ribbed pullover, a classic crewneck jumper, or a seasonless ruana cape, our garments are designed to outlast fast-moving trends and become your go-to essentials, year after year.

Our Commitment to Timeless Fashion

At Lona Scott, we don't chase trends, we aim to build products that last. A slow fashion with purpose, designed for conscious consumers who want products that can be passed down through generations. A clear philosophy guides our designs:

• Timeless over trendy: We ignore the churn of fast fashion and focus on timeless & classic style
  
  
• Seasonless silhouettes: Our cashmere garments are versatile enough to be worn in a wide range of climates, ensuring year-round comfort and style
  
  
• Luxury meets accessibility: We only work with natural pure fibres at attainable prices, because elegance and sustainability can be attainable

How can you tell if it's good cashmere?

High-quality cashmere, like Lona Scott's, has a tight weave, even fibres, and a naturally but extremely soft touch. Avoid long or uneven fibres, which often indicate blended materials and reduced durability. Cashmere should ever be rough to touch or harsh on the skin

What are the three types of wool?

All natural Wool and Cashmere come from sheep (such as Shetland and Merino), goats (including cashmere and mohair), and Alpacas, Vicunas or Camels. At Lona Scott, we specialise in premium cashmere, lambswool and new wool, offering a wide range of natural fibres

What is the Scottish wool pattern called?

The iconic pattern is known as Tartan: a traditional Scottish design made up of crisscrossed horizontal and vertical bands in multiple colours. Each tartan has a unique history, often linked to specific clans, regions, or stories from Scotland’s rich cultural past. At Lona Scott, tartan is more than just a pattern; it's a symbol of heritage and craftsmanship. We celebrate this legacy by weaving classic tartan-inspired designs into many of our best-loved wool and cashmere pieces, offering timeless style with a distinctly Scottish touch.
